Can I upgrade from Big Sur 11.6 to Big Sur 11.7.6 in one download? I was recently given an iMac Retina 5k 27 inch 2020 computer from a friend of the family, but I noticed that the macOS was never upgraded from Big Sur 11.6 to at least the last Big Sur 11.7.6 upgrade. I am wondering if for now I can just upgrade from Big Sur 11.6 to Big Sur 11.7.6 in one download instead of just each individual upgrade or should I just go from here on to Monterey and then on to Ventura or can I even do that without the Big Sur upgrades? What's the best way of approaching this?

I have macOS Big Sur, version 11.6.2 - can I upgrade to macOS Monterey 12.2 I currently have macOS Big Sur, Version 11.6.2; I am getting message to upgrade to macOS Monterey 12.2 - Also getting message to update to 11.6.3 and update Safari to 15.3. Can I skip this upgrade & update and download another upgrade available now - macOS Monterey? So confusing. Thanks for any suggestions.

Assuming your Mac is compatible, you can upgrade from 11.6 to Monterey directly.
